PS Plus Free Games For August Out Now On PS4/PS3/Vita

It's a good month for PS Plus.

16 Comments

If you've been looking for something to play, today brings good news: the PlayStation Plus free games for August are live now on the PlayStation Store, and it's an especially good month to be a Plus subscriber.

Headlining the selection is the chaotic action game Just Cause 3, available for download on PS4. Its massive sandbox and array of high-powered weaponry will likely entertain for at least a few hours. PS4 owners also get access to the well-received Assassin's Creed: Freedom Cry, the spinoff of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag. In addition, free-to-play game Dreadnought launches into open beta on PS4 today, and Plus members will be able to pick up a free DLC pack for it starting on August 15.

Now Playing: Free PS4/PS3/Vita PlayStation Plus Games For August 2017 Revealed

The fantastic roguelike/platformer Downwell is also now free to download on both PS4 and Vita. Vita owners can pick up Level 22 as well. Finally, PS3 owners can grab Snakeball and Super Motherload, the latter of which is also free on PS4.

These games will be available until the first Tuesday of next month--September 5--so make sure to "purchase" them (you won't be charged) before then on the PS Store. If you do that, then as long as you have an active Plus subscription, you'll be able to download and play them.

Plus members in the US can also currently rent certain movies from the PS Store for 99 cents each. The current title is Logan; it will be followed by Power Rangers, Kong: Skull Island, Boss Baby, and Ghost in the Shell.

Why is this today's news? This was published 2 days ago. Or maybe something's wrong with my news feed because I keep getting the same articles posted day after day.

Seems like the last year PS3 is going to get anything. I think they'll cut game server supper for PS3 completely next year.

@xOmniCloudx: Lol, "game server supper". I know it was probably an autocorrect typo, but still made me chuckle :-)

@xOmniCloudx: Doubt it. PS2 servers only just shut down in 2016 after being up for 16 years. 2020 will probably be when PS3 servers shut down unless it carries on a bit longer.

Been a while since we had a good month like this. It's these kinds of months that would encourage more subscribers. Just Cause 3 validates half of PSN's sub all by itself.

@videogameninja: It's really more of a "spiritual successor to Mercenaries," which itself was designed like "Military GTA where you can just solve everything with explosives."

Lack of official Co-Op is what kept me from ever buying any JC games, but I might as well try it now!

@Pyrosa: I used to be a PC player, had several pcs till like 2012-13 (maybe wrong in there), when i bough my last pc, an i7 4770k, and didnt buy a gpu with him, since i didnt had that much of time to play, and was kinda broken. Now any gtx 1070 here costs more then a ps4 + xone together, so, no pointing in getting it anymore.

@everson_rm: You can get a 1050GTX and be fine, it runs new games on ultra just fine as long as they are not open world games. If you want VR then you can get a 1060.

Unless you are a PC enthusiast and have your FPS counter in the top corner, and any time it dips you get angry.
